Tier 1 Alliance Pepper Spray Workshop: a short, sharp lesson in looking after yourself - 27 September

Tier 1 Alliance Potchefstroom is running a pepper spray workshop on 27 September. The session runs for 90 minutes in the morning, and each attendee gets a SWAT pepper spray canister as part of the R250 fee. The organisers set a clear registration cut-off: people must sign up before 10:30 on 26 September.

Who is behind it

The event is presented by Tier 1 Alliance in collaboration with CombatCoaching.com. SWAT Pepper Spray is listed as the distributor, and organisers say the product is now available through the Tier 1 Alliance Potchefstroom outlet.

What to expect from the workshop

The organisers describe the session as practical and focused on immediate self-protection. It covers the basics of carrying and using pepper spray safely, and aims to give attendees the confidence to react quickly when a situation requires it. The tagline supplied by the organisers puts it plainly: when seconds decide safety, pepper spray gives you the power to protect your body, your future, and the people who love you.

This is not a long theoretical seminar. The session is short, practical and hands-on. Attendees should expect demonstrations and clear, no-nonsense guidance on legal and safe use. There will also be time for questions.

Practical details

The venue is the first floor of the building on the corner of James Moroka and Peter Mokaba streets. The R250 fee includes one SWAT pepper spray canister. For bookings and queries contact Johan

A quick note about SWAT Pepper Spray

The promotional material supplied describes SWAT Pepper Spray as compact, powerful and designed for protection. The organisers note it is trusted by professionals across South Africa and suitable for personal safety, home defence and professional use. The tone of the workshop copy suggests the emphasis will be on sensible, responsible use rather than theatrics.

This is a short, practical offering for anyone who wants to learn the basics of pepper spray as a tool for immediate personal safety. It is straightforward, mildly amusing if one reads the promotional line about “seconds deciding safety”, and useful for people who prefer learning in a compact session rather than a long course. If someone plans to attend, they should register by the 26 September cut-off and bring any questions they have about legal use and safe handling.
